Tip of the hat to Crunchy Con for this.
After visiting the Shrine of the Patroness of America (who is also the Patroness of the unborn)and shouting to Mexican "You have a wonderful Virgin, she went to Houston to get Planned Parenthood's highest award
Full transcript of her remarks are located here.
I note with some amusement that many Obama supporting Catholics tried to downplay the significance of this move for the pro-life movement. It appears that Planned Parenthood very much disagrees.
As I pointed out yesterday Sanger was a huge ole racist. See Sec of State Hillary Clinton To get Top Racist Reward Today
Here are some excerpts:
Now, I have to tell you that it was a great privilege when I was told that I would receive this award. I admire Margaret Sanger enormously, her courage, her tenacity, her vision.........
The overarching mission of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America and the cause of reproductive freedom that you continue to advance today is as relevant in our world now as it was a hundred years ago. (Applause.) So I thank you.........
But around the world, too many women are denied even the opportunity to know about how to plan and space their families. They're denied the power to do anything about the most intimate of decisions..........
This is especially important today, when poverty and the lack of healthcare and education, hunger and job loss, are amplified by the current economic crisis. And I was very proud when President Obama repealed the Mexico City policy(Applause.)
I am also pleased to tell you that we announced that the United States will once again fund family planning through the United Nations. (Applause.) We are going to fund a contribution of $50 million this fiscal year. That's a 130 percent increase over our last contribution, which was made in 2001. Congress has also approved the Administration's request for $545 million in bilateral assistance for family planning and reproductive health programs this year.
So Planned Parenthood gets to expand their abortion and anti life agenda worldwide!!! Of course they are cheering.
How does this make abortion go down
